Placement

If you are female, put your bra on in pre-surgery and make them mark where your PM will go to the inside of your strap. I have narrow shoulders and was worried to death about the strap going across my PM.  My EP said 'just wear a strapless bra'........ha, that' s a guy for you.  I told my PC and SHE told me to be firm and have it marked exactly where you want it to be.  I got some hassle but it was worth it as I'm sure if my strap went over my PM it would have driven me crazy.

Strap

After surgery, a strap that bothers me is my car's seatbelt strap.  I have a thin frame and the ICD is quite prominent.  I ordered two types of padded seatbelt covers.  They are available online.  A baby pillow works better for longer trips.

My seatbelt bothered me at the beginning but as my pacemaker has healed over, I no longer have a problem.  Most new cars allow you to move your seatbelt placement up or down.  I go as low as possible because I am a 5'4" person.

I wish I had known to ask that. Bras & seatbelts are irritating. I made a pad to go under bra straps & that helps.
